Hello BYG Dev Team,
I am currently attempting to load up byg-1.1.6.jar on the latest version of forge (forge-1.16.4-35.1.31-client.jar). I have updated Java to it's most recent version and other forge mods work perfectly fine but for some reason BYG keeps saying that there was an error upon loading. Am I missing a required file (FYI BYG is the only mod in the mods folder and it's not running in a mod pack)? I had my friend try to do the same thing on his computer but unfortunately he had the same result. I know it's probably something simple but I'm really stumped. The error code (which I doubt will be useful) is 60ae91bc-bf2a-4dd8-a845-fb7edb4847c9. I checked the crash report page, but I'm not a programmer so I couldn't make heads or tails of it. I literally just downloaded the most recent BYG file, along with the most recent version of forge and then this happened. Thanks for your help, and I hope you can figure it out! If it helps, here is the entire report:
